Governing law. s.13B Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (first motion s.13B(1), second motion after 6–18 months); s.28 Special Marriage Act, 1954 for civil/inter-faith. Jurisdiction under the Family Courts Act, 1984; court fees under the Karnataka Court-Fees and Suits Valuation Act, 1958. Key cases: Amardeep Singh (2017) and Shilpa Sailesh (2023).
How mutual divorce works in Karnataka
- Both spouses finalise a settlement (alimony, custody, property, stridhan)

- File (first motion) before the Family Court and pay the court fee
- Court records first-motion statements on oath
- Court may refer to mediation; if reconciliation fails it proceeds
- Cooling-off of 6 months, or file to waive it where eligible
- After 6 months (or waiver) move the second motion within the 18-month limit
- Court records second-motion statements and grants the decree
Documents required in Karnataka

Both spouses agree to the divorce and to the terms — settlement, maintenance and custody. This avoids a contested trial and is far quicker and cheaper.

There is usually a six-month cooling-off period between the first and second motions, though courts may waive it in suitable cases. Your lawyer will advise based on your situation.
Is the process confidential?
Yes. We handle every matter with discretion, and your documents and personal details are kept strictly confidential.
